101 <em>Recognizing Actions using Embodiment and

105 MEng thesis! <code>CORTEX</code> is an exploration of
106 embodied cognition, the idea that our intelligence is
107 deeply connected to our bodies and experience of the
108 world. In the thesis, I teach a simulated worm how to
109 recognize other worms performing various actions like
110 wiggling and curling by giving it a sense of empathy:
111 the worm imagines what it would feel like to be the
112 other worm, and then recognizes the actions based on its
113 own previous experience. All code and text for the
